Ricardo Tobar: Red Sea

Ricardo Tobar takes the chance away from the more listening angled album format to roll out a title track with main room aspirations; yet, while ‘Red Sea’ is the obvious headliner, it is the supporting cast that steal a march. The most earnest welcome back for Tobar, here’s looking forward to more and with the hope of remaining free from the clutches of the torrent scene.

Call Super: Fabric 92

Following on from Nina Kraviz’ frankly barnstorming mix, Joe Seaton’s attention to detail in sequencing and stand out visionary approach has created a mix to last the ages, best suited to those moments when daylight begins to colour the sky like a splash of milk into a strong Americano.

Look Like: Mistress 09

It is fair to say that the ninth Mistress Recordings release is their most laid back to date. This isn’t to say there isn’t heft to it, that there is, but it is certainly a lot more considered in its approach and part of this is that it comes from Zurich’s Club Zunkunft resident Look Like.
